Intelligence mining can be defined as the process of deriving high-level intelligence from low-level intelligence already stored on the blockchain [1]}. The immutable and auditable properties of blockchain are able to facilitate mining in a trustless way. Given that low-level intelligence used as part of the mining process is immutable and accessible by each organisation on the network, high-level intelligence that is derived from it can be validated by other organisations. As a result, the ability to mine high-level intelligence in a trustless way has the potential to allow blockchain-based CTI sharing platforms to provide participating organisations with more advanced threat mitigation.
